Stanwell to Gladstone Infrastructure Corridor State Development Area

The Stanwell to Gladstone Infrastructure Corridor State Development Area (SDA) supports the establishment of multiple underground pipelines.

Declared in 2008, the approximately 90 kilometre long corridor links Stanwell to Gladstone.

With an average width of 100 metres, the corridor can accommodate up to seven underground pipelines for numerous purposes such as water (treated, raw or sea), gas, mineral slurries and telecommunication cables.

Land use assessment and approval

The Stanwell to Gladstone Infrastructure Corridor SDA is subject to a development scheme that regulates and controls land use and infrastructure planning and development within the area.

There are a number of applications and requests relating to development within the Stanwell to Gladstone Infrastructure Corridor SDA that require approval by the Coordinator-General.

The Coordinator-General assesses and decides all SDA applications and requests within SDAs.

The Coordinator-General may forward applications to state government agencies and local government for review and comment.

Depending on the nature of the development, the SDA application may be required to undergo public consultation. The development scheme for the Stanwell to Gladstone Infrastructure Corridor SDA provides criteria for whether or not public consultation is required for an SDA application at the public consultation stage.
